Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The provision of services, including the appointment of staff, at Kerry General Hospital is, in the first instance, a matter for the Southern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board to reply to the Deputy directly.
